Awakening from a Phoenix ( Love and Sacrifice)

05- The prophecy

Arcan narrating:

The symbols in the box are one of the oldest there are, few people are able to translate them. I observed every detail of the Box, recognizing only three symbols, the rest I didn't know what it meant, the closing of the Box was magical, the person who made this box is an extremely skilled being, I who am king of magic, I can't open the box, it left me very frustrated, it seems that the combination to open the box has to be the translation of all the symbols, then you will have the magic words to be able to open it.

While I was analyzing the box, someone knocked on my door, I took the box and put it under the bed, and I sent the person in, I thought I was an employee bringing water, juice, or something.

But to my surprise, it was that woman from the library, I realized when she was pushed into my room and the door closed right behind. Her look was low, she couldn't see her face, I got up from my bed and sent her to her.

" What do those hours do in my room?".

She looked up, finding mine, I noticed her red eyes full of Tears, That's when I understood everything. The gift that my hosts were talking about, was a night of s*x with her, they have no idea, you don't do that with any being, she was shaking with fear.

" I am here to satisfy all your wishes, lord king!".

Don't worry, I'm not that kind of being, I didn't want to touch a woman, unless she asked me to. You can leave my room, and rest.

" I cannot go back to my room, gentlemen, they made it very clear that if I did not spend the night with you, tomorrow I would be taken to a wild place, because if I am not able, to be able to please a king, I will not serve them."

I realized that with every word she spoke, she felt a pain in her heart, I could see, how this humiliation was affecting her, as a person may be able to give to another as a gift, the human being is despicable, he does not understand the Preciousness that is a life.

" Don't worry about it, since they threatened you, you can lie down on my bed, I lay on the couch, tomorrow morning you will leave normally, And if they ask, right you pleased me in many ways. I have no intention of harming you, but if you don't mind, I would like to know how you put yourself in that place because you don't choose to do anything else? "

She looked at me wiping the tears from her face.

" As if I have another choice, see what you have no idea of what is going on in the realm of humans, here we do what is commanded, I am not a indoctrinate to choose something, I am a selected one, it was made just to serve, what I want, my thoughts, and my abilities, are provided for them, I have no right to choose how I want to live my life. "

I felt bad about her words, I had forgotten that detail, human beings are divided into classes, and each belongs to one, and so they have been making centuries.

" Forgive me, I had forgotten that part, is that the magical kingdom is totally different from the kingdom of humans, nobody is arrested to anyone, you have a right to choose."

" But unfortunately I was not born in the magical kingdom, it belongs to the kingdom of humans, so I have to follow the rules and laws here."

" Okay, I realized that our conversation made you extremely upset, you can go to bed, if you need anything just call me I'll be here on the couch."

She walked to bed while I was fixing the sofa to lie down, but out of nowhere she gave a little cry, I looked to the side, I realized that she tapped her foot on the box. I suppose I didn't move the house far enough for anyone to hit it, so she bent down to see where Pé hit, when she found the box, her look changed, she gently took the box and sat on the bed and placed it on her lap, something happened, a bright light started to light around the symbols.

I was intrigued, I preferred to let her see the box, and see what's going to happen, and why the box had that reaction when she touched it.

Alice started to run her hand through all the symbols, as if she knew what was written, about Nothing, she started to speak, I recognized it at the time, does she speak the old language?

I approached her running, afraid she would get hurt by what was in the box.

When she finished speaking the symbols, the box lock opened, she opened the box slowly, And as I thought, she had a sheet of handwritten paper, the oldest ever.

She came out of the trance and looked at me, and when she realized she was holding a sheet of paper, she looked at me confusedly.

" What happened to me? What did I do? What was that? "

My heart accelerated with her reaction, this girl thinks she is human, but now I can feel it, she has magic inside her, only a person with magic would be able to open that box, he speaks the old language, recognized all the symbols, and spoke each word correctly today, even the people he could translate would have a hard time speaking.

Alice is a different woman, she is not a human being, but what is she? As I understand it, was she born in the realm of humans, or was she brought here?

A thousand questions started to appear in my mind! Then out of nowhere my attention went back to Alice, who started reading the manuscript.

The prophecy...

" In a few centuries, the kingdoms will be in danger, a war will begin, the greatest of all ever known, where all kinds will be destroyed, no kingdom will be left, not even magic will be able to escape the end of the world. Life of innocents will be lost, people will be destroyed, incredible beings will cease to exist, and all this will be raised by an evil being, will have all the strength of the night, of Darkness, and it will destroy everything that comes its way, everything will turn to dust, and ashes.

But from these ashes the being will be reborn, the light that will inhabit his body, will be transformed into flames, she will be the only one capable of defeating evil, and saving all kingdoms, and the world we live in.

The lord of flames, will be known as the Phoenix, and will have Three Hearts, where from them, she will take all her power, and learn the true meaning of each life.

The Phoenix can only be awakening by giving the person's body, when he sacrifices two of his heart, the sacrifice will give him the powers, and with them she will be able to defeat evil forever, leaving all kingdoms safe, and saving thousands of beings, but that decision only the Phoenix can make, she will decide everyone's fate.

May the gods and elements have mercy on everyone, and the Phoenix may choose between love or sacrifice wisely. "

She handed me the manuscript, I saw a seal from the Royal family, the last of the prophecies for all kingdoms, for the destruction of our world.

Everything was very confusing, I started to think about every word, a being will be reborn, but for that she will have to sacrifice two of her three hearts, what does that mean? Who will this be? And, why did this woman manage to open the box and read the writing? The language of the manuscript is dead, it could never translate, others took years for it, it did it in seconds.

I took the manuscript and put it in the box again, then I took the box and put it under the bed, a little further away so Alice wouldn't hurt Pé again, I sat next to her on the bed, and I decided to ask some questions, do you need to know where she is from, how she was born, and more importantly, what kingdom this woman belongs to? Because human she is not!

I started asking Alice, but unfortunately she had no answer for me, an Orphan girl, who did not know the real family, she grew up alone, anguished and suffered. She went through a lot of hunger, stayed between life and death several times with the diseases of the selective, but she managed to go through everything with her strength, and her will to live, and now she is here, Alice is stronger than she thinks, the way she talks about herself, it's like a weak woman, hardly knows the capacity she has inside her, if she knew that the person to open that box must have Magic itself, she would have a heart attack.

I was fascinated to hear Alice's life story, I had more admiration for every word she said to me, I started to feel a shiver for my body, she was not only of extraordinary beauty, but she is an extraordinary being.

After a few hours she ended up falling asleep, she was tired, soon the day will rise, the sun will be high, and she will start working again.

After a few hours sitting on the couch, watching Alice sleep, someone knocked on the door, I went to the door not wanting to wake Larissa, when I opened the door, there was the figure of an old woman, standing as low as ever, she was the housekeeper.

" Mister king, I'm sorry to bother you, I came to get Alice, for your obligations."

I looked at the woman, then I looked at Alice sleeping peacefully in bed.

" Alice is sleeping, tell her indoctrinated bosses that she will stay with me for today, that I really liked the gift, that I will return it as soon as they left."

I closed the door without hearing the housekeeper's response, let Alice sleep until she woke up alone. It took a few more hours, while admirable for her to sleep, I realized the desire growing in my body, my heart was very racing, my hands were sweating, and my body was all chilled, I wish I could lie down beside her, hug and welcome her into my arms, but I know it might scare her, and that's not what I want.

I was thinking of a way to convince the indoctrinated to give me Alice as a gift, but without them suspecting anything, if they know of Alice's ability, protect her with all her fortune.
